Top review:
Together with Da Vinci Route and Modiano Old Trophy, these are the best playing cards on the market. Absolutely perfect double deck! If you want the best deck on the market with no drawback at all, stop wasting your time and money on other products like KEM, COPAG etc. These cards are:
- Solid. Whatever you do with them, they keep straight - unlike KEM's, which warp like crazy and cannot be fixed.
- Perfectly flexible. Their elasticity is perfeclty balanced - the cards are not hard at all, but perfectly fast at flexing back to their straight position. Great for riffle-shuffle bridge, which is very lazy and sluggish with KEM's.
- Odorless. Unlike KEM's, which stink like a chemical factory, these cards have no odor at all.
- Water resistant. Unlike KEM's, which warp irreversibly once in touch with water, these cards are just like new after washing.
- With excellent friction factor. The friction between cards is perfectly adjusted and balanced: these cards fan beatifully and spread perfectly even. This is a great advantage contrary to my second favorite deck Bicycle Prestige, the cards of which are also great but feel too slippery and dry.
- Pleasant to touch. Although these cards, naturally, don't feel like paper, they are very, very pleasant to touch. The feel is certainly "not so plastic" as that of, for instance, Piatnik 100% plastic or Bicycle Prestige.
- Beautiful. Although the design is that of the classical index, the colors are very pleasant and bright. The ace of spades and the jokers are just beautiful.
- With two colors of Jokers. Each deck contains one black joker and one red joker. Great for various game modifications.
- With lifetime warranty.
As I have already written, these cards are absolutely perfect. I really regret having wasted my time and money on other decks. If I had to chose one deck for the rest of my life, it'd be this Da Vinci Classico.
